I dont know much about Russ but to me this is a beautiful sounding kit and a pretty sweet organized solo....

He's definitely channeling VC's BR memorial performance. And that's common these days.

He's playing "7 Steps To Heaven"

Yeah, that's about the tempo. But you should never compare him to Tony.

I saw him in clinic when he was with Yamaha. Great player. JR and him both did clinics back to back! JR called him a young whippersnapper studio guy. lol
I hung out with JR for several hours that day. Good times.

That solo was very enjoyable! I never really knew the guy, but evidently he's a HELL of a player!
Having said that, personally I think that kit sounds horrible, the worst of which is the snare. No body/depth to the sound at all. I'm not slamming Mapex per se, as I remember watching good sounding and well tuned kits but this particular one sounds amazingly bad.

The kit sounds good, but the snare does kinda suck. The kick could use a little work. Toms sound great, though.
